The front of the watch should be oriented toward the sky.
2 Wait while the watch locates satellites.
It may take 30 to 60 seconds to locate satellite signals.

Improving GPS Satellite Reception

• Frequently sync the device to your Garmin account:
◦ Connect your device to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your device to the Garmin Connect app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
◦ Connect your device to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin account, the device downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.

• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
